Bois may prefer a range of pronouns, including "he", "she", or nonbinary and gender-neutral pronouns such as "they". Many trans bois are also genderqueer/nonbinary (in itself a trans/transgender group), or might identify as cis persons or trans men, and yet practice genderfuck in which they do not fit in either masculine or feminine binary gender presentation.

The term can also be used by anyone who wishes to distinguish from heterosexual or heteronormative identities.
